Conversations and beginning of the long life blessing by His Eminence Tsheten Zangpo at Rinzentangpang Tshokhang. People discuss the process of receiving a blessing and what they have to offer in return. Some people offer cash as gratitude for the blessing from His Eminence.

Performance of the long-life blessing by His Eminence Tsheten Zangpo, a revered religious master in the Trashiyangtse district of Bhutan. The event took place in Rinzentangpang Tshokhang after a three day long feast offered by the community in the name of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha for the well-being of the community and all the sentient beings in all endeavors. It is believed that receiving this blessing enhances one's life force and clears all unforeseen obstacles.

His Eminence Tsheten Zangpo has been the head of the annual feast in Rinzentangpang for over 25 years. In this recording, a lay monk distributes the Tshok (feast offering), sanctified through the prayers. Later, the remaining Tshok is distributed to the public.

Mr. Sonam Wangchuk performs Ngô rituals in the name of all the sponsors for the feast offering. Ngô is the dedication of merits in the name of sponsors. At the end of every ritual ceremony, the sponsors of the ceremony dedicate merits to all the sentient beings and the success of one's life in any future endeavor. He is praying on behalf of his fellow sponsors in front of His Eminence Tsheten Zangpo.

Gurma, the song of feasts, is sung by monks, nuns, and lay practitioners in veneration of their masters. This song was composed by His Holiness Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, a 20th-century Buddhist master born in Pemako in the frontier region of Tibet. The song enchanted the people's request towards the tutelage deities and the local duties for the construction of a monastery. It includes a student's heartfelt request to the master to forever bestow his blessing upon them. The song is significant in the Dakpa community of Thragom village because many lay practitioners, including women, are into the Tröma (wrathful practice) of Mache Trhoma Namo (Black Wrathful Mother).
